Danny Ings still can't force his way into Liverpool's plans under fan Jurgen Klopp

Liverpool’s attacking trio of Mo Salah, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane have been the main reason for Jurgen Klopp’s side’s push to finish in the Champions League places this season

Only league leaders Manchester City (83) have scored more than the Reds’ 68 Premier League goals this term.

The Merseysiders’ issues have been at the other end, with Virgil van Dijk coming in during the January transfer window to try to shore up a leaky defence.

If Klopp’s side want to launch a proper title challenge, it’s unlikely Loris Karius or Simon Mignolet will be the permanent solution in goal – it’s no surprise to see Jack Butland touted as a Liverpool transfer target in recent days.

But while both Karius and Mignolet’s future is uncertain, the first name out of the door should be Danny Ings.

Klopp is a fan, claiming the striker would only leave in the January transfer window if the German manager was "unconscious".

But given the former Burnley man has made just nine league appearances since joining in 2015, time has to be running out on his career at Anfield.

The 25-year-old isn’t up to the standards of Firmino, Salah or Mane, and is occupying a place in the squad of someone who would injured a lot less.

Manchester United

Despite an improvement on last season’s sixth-placed finish, Jose Mourinho will finish his second campaign at Manchester United without a Premier League trophy.

Every transfer window since the Portuguese manager arrived has been busy, with a number of players leaving and arriving. Expect this summer to be no different.

In terms of outgoings, Daley Blind, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Matteo Darmian and Michael Carrick have all played less than 300 minutes of Premier League football this season and are unlikely to be playing in Manchester next season.

Carrick today announced he will retire, but Blind could be the big departure.

United are reportedly interested in Justin Kluivert, and they should consider using the versatile Dutchman in any deal to bring the teenager to Old Trafford.

With the 28-year-old out of favour at Manchester United, he’d surely jump at any chance to rejoin the club he was at from 1998 until 2014.
